Modern, Shareable AI Analytics with Plotly Studio and Cloud
For over a decade, Plotly has been building tools that make data visualization accessible and impactful. Among these tools, our popular online graph maker, Chart Studio, has been a helpful introduction to data analysis. It gave students, researchers, and professionals a simple way to create interactive charts.
Today, modern analytics has grown beyond single charts and simple graphs. Teams and individuals want richer interactivity, faster iteration, and ways to share insights as full applications.
That’s why we’re excited about Plotly Studio and Plotly Cloud, our latest platforms that bring shareable data apps into the mainstream, with AI. If you’re a fan of Chart Studio, we think you’ll love these two new tools. We’re encouraging Chart Studio users to move to Plotly Studio, and this article will provide easy-to-follow steps to do so.
